The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah grants respite," and perhaps he said, "gives reprieve to the wrongdoer, but when He seizes him, He does not let him escape." Then he recited, "Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the towns while they are doing wrong" [Hud 11:102].
حدثنا أبو كريب حدثنا أبو معاوية عن بريد بن عبد الله عن أبي بردة
أن رسول الله ﷺ قال إن الله تبارك وتعالى يملي وربما قال يمهل للظالم حتى إذا أخذه لم يفلته ثم قرأ {وكذلك أخذ ربك إذا أخذ القرى وهي ظالمة} الآية
